You’ll need to be extra careful communicating with partners for a few days surrounding this Full Moon. Misunderstandings and misperceptions are highly likely. This may impact not only your love relationships but also some platonic and even professional partnerships too. This isn’t a good time for entering into serious negotiations either. It might be wise to hold off on receiving legal advice or beginning a new relationship right about now. You or the other person may not be clear enough to really understand what each other needs from a partnership, and disappointment or vagueness of purpose can result. However, if you’ve been working on a relationship up until this point, consider this an ideal moment for soul-bonding and a connection to that person you haven’t quite experienced before.

This Full Moon in Pisces favors moments of eternity, intimate eye contact, or connecting with “soul mates” who serve to nourish you both spiritually and emotionally. Hard work done within any partnership can show results thereby elevating your connection to a whole new level. This can be a particularly emotional Full Moon which opens new doors of perception and feeling with someone you deeply trust. But trust is something you must also seriously assess now. It’s possible that you may come to realize something about a partner that’s somehow evaded your attention up until this point. Can you really trust everyone you hold dear to your heart? Are you seeing those you love clearly and realistically? Question all of your assumptions and delusions right now, and release any ideals over the next two weeks that don’t match up with reality.

Around Sep. 12, your ruling planet Mercury re-enters your rising sign, precipitating a new beginning for you in several ways. With Mars and the Sun now moving through Virgo too, this is your season to take the lead, initiate new directions/projects, and assert your willpower more than you usually can. With Mercury retrograde in Virgo through much of August and early Sep., you’ve been given a new perception and awareness of your true power and ability to lead/direct your own life. This may have gifted you a much better understanding of your present choices and the decisions on the table. Much of this is reminding you of the freedom you presently have to make some significant changes. With Mars moving through Virgo until late Oct. you’ll need to step up and assert yourself on your own terms. Don’t expect anyone else to do the work for you. If you want something to change now, then realize you have to take those first steps or make the first moves.

With Mars now moving through Virgo, you’ll also need to be aware of the power and influence you have right now. You may be more accident prone than usual, so be extra mindful of your actions right now. This “warrior” energy infiltrating your rising sign gives you an extra boost of strength and force that could turn harmful if you’re not careful. Also consider how you’re coming off to others at this time. If you’re harboring unresolved anger or frustration, it could come out when you least expect it and end up negatively impacting someone else. This new power you have at your disposal might still be a little awkward and uncertain for you, but the New Moon in just two weeks will relate to a new chapter and fresh energy coming in that you can use to enhance your personal style and presentation.

You’ll need to be particularly cautious around Sep. 16 when Mercury conjoins Mars in Virgo. Again, any unresolved frustration/anger could really flare up here. You might notice an enhanced communicative power that can make a significant impact, but can also trigger arguments too. The days surrounding this conjunction serve to awaken you to your deeper power and capacity to take charge of certain situations in your life. This isn’t a time to step back and let anyone else control or lead you. This your season to put yourself forward, but remember that you’ll have to do this mindfully, so that you don’t come off too strong or abrasive. There is a delicate dance between too much and not enough force. Gather your courage and strength now more than ever, and step up to something you’ve been afraid to do or face. From Sep. 16 to the New Moon Sep. 19 is your moment here.
